Unhappy Holley carbs in 63 F-85 Convertible

Hi to all walking libraries
When Claudia&me bought the Olds,there was a Rochester carb mounted on the engine.Because the Engine didn`t work ,the dealer offered us to give the car to an US-Car-Spezialist for repairing the carbs.We found out that he replaced the Original by a Holley 8050B 4BBL carb!!!The Rochester is thrown in the scrap metal container and lost
We don`t want to pay the horrible sum that he invoiced to us.The first and main reason is the no more original engine bay.The second is, that we can`t find out,if the Holley is suitable to our engine:
V8
215 Cui
185 Hp
The Olds seams to run well,but there is no chance to contrast our car to another one.

Thanks to all of you for your exorbitant interest
Claudia&Martin
